Why do you want--so very very badly--for lack of
belief and disbelief to be the same thing, do you have
even the slightest idea?
Do you deny your disbelief, admitting that you do
consider the possibility of God's existence even though
you are incredibly weak in that area?
or:
Do you deny that you consider the possibility of God's
existence, admitting that you do have faith he does not
exist?

I have faith that the tooth fairy is a lie. I have faith that
the Earth will rotate at least 100 more times. Can you admit
your own faith in anything, or do you deny all of it?
